MIA-SJU 76W I7
for ~$400

ticket seg1 is Y, seg 2 in I for ~$400
call the next day, say AA just released new I7 inventory for seg1, ask to be rebooked into I that’s already paid for & revalidate.
cancel within 24 hours if it doesn’t work

not quite sure how to ticket seg1 Y, seg2 I - it seems Plat AMEXTravel.com when searching business (not first) will do it, but would then have to deal with AMEX the next day rather than AA directly

AA is unlikely to do this, and Amex (or any travel agent) will definitely not, unless they want AA to send them a debit memo. You cannot cancel and/or rebook one segment that is part of a married connection (if additional I class inventory is released on the married connection at some point, different story).
